About Me

Started my career in 2012 developing WordPress websites and then progressed from a full-stack developer to front-end. Had a few opportunities to work on mobile projects for both Android and iOS (Java, Objective-C and Swift).

In 2019 tried creating my own start-up in the fitness industry. The project was called WorkOn and it was a marketplace for influencers to sell training programs. The application would give video instructions on exercise execution and tracked the user's progress, providing analytics and, in the future, social interactions between followers/users. Unfortunately the project was shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic and multiple companies launched similar products.

Programming Languages: JavaScript, Typescript, Rescript, Elixir, and Java.

Front-end: React.js, React Native, and Angular.

Back-end: Phoenix Framework, Node.js, and Spring Boot.
